Publisher's Synopsis

Barry McGee is an artist who takes uncertainty and unpredictability as his guiding principles. Every exhibition is different. His installations have featured everything from robotic graffiti writers to entire shipping containers and automobiles. Published to accompany an exhibition at Cheim & Read, New York, this artist's book features new paintings, sculptures, photographs and images of site-specific installations. McGee's work defies easy categorization and explanation but it's possible to read into this latest body current events in the world at large.
